- (continued from previous page)When swallows fly low it is a sign of storm.
When the robin sings high up a tree it is a sign of good weather - when he is low down it is a sign of rain.
Rheumatic pains are signs of rain.
When the hills look near and when houses cast a reflection in water we'll have rain.
When floors and houses become damp it is a sure sign of rain.
